parking assist

[markjay]

I'm still quite confused. My 2014 Mercedes already detects if the driver has hands on the steering wheel. It just does it indirectly by sensing the steering force. Could it be that this approach does not fulfil the UN rules?

Our 2021 E-class has a capacitive sensor on the steering wheel. Then again, the 2017 E-class didn't and the park assist was fully functional.

Not all MB models are affected. Those that weren't affected, kept their active park assist. It was only disabled on certain models. I guess that these certain models didn't have the steering wheel sensors.
